Excellent Service and Smooth Lease Extension Process

Kelly provided an excellent service throughout my lease extension process. She kept me updated at every stage, explained everything clearly, and was always quick to respond to any questions I had. The whole process was handled professionally and efficiently, including dealing with my mortgage lender and the completion formalities. I really appreciated her attention to detail and support throughout what could have been a stressful process. I would happily recommend Kelly to anyone needing conveyancing or lease extension work carried out.

We were delighted to be represented by Katie Reade of Butcher and Barlow of Bramhall in connection with the sale of our residential property in Poynton. Excellent communication throughout and we were very impressed as first time clients. The journey to Completion was not without difficulties along the way but Katie’s management and determination saw us through. Job well done Katie. Our grateful thanks.

Purchase of paddock

We engaged Butch and Barlow to purchase some Agri-Land. Tom was assigned and remained a single point of contact through the whole process. He was easy to contact and communicate with and was very clear about what I needed to do at each stage. I would have no hesitation in working with him / the company in the future.

My family could not recommend Greg enough. He has been a brilliant solicitor to us throughout our legal dispute over our share of our late mother’s property and succeeded in making sure we received our portion of the sale. We couldn’t have gotten through the dispute without his help. Highly recommend.

As a first time executor I felt rather lost and stressed about dealing with my late aunt’s estate. The task was rather tricky in that there was no original will, just a copy. Helen Chadderton at Butcher and Barlow did a great job. She handled the job with professionalism, explaining the options, and keeping me updated on progress. Thank you to B&B, and Helen in particular.

My brother and I appointed Butcher & Barlow as our solicitors to advise and support during the administration of probate on our late father's estate. Our parents had previously used this company for approximately 25 years and had full trust in the firm. Butcher and Barlow, and in particular Samuel Dale and Jenny Brown, along with the rest of the team, proved to be knowledgeable, helpful and very supportive at such a difficult time. I have no hesitation in recommending Butcher and Barlow and will use them in the future, should the need arise. Their help was very much appreciated.

We have used Butcher and Barlow for several pieces of work recently, including shareholder agreements, work on Companies House and also commercial lease work. Specifically, Andy Mackenzie was superb in his advice around our new office space, and Jonathan Alderley was extremely helpful in ensuring that our shareholder provisions were set up appropriately and accurately. Both ensured that our work with them was low touch and very easy. 10/10
